Edmonton

Thanks to all of you for your kind words for our family. There will be a memorial service next month and that’s a relief because I was afraid we wouldn’t be able to attend. Rosie was right in her comment that even when expected, death is a shock. My Dad died young at 47 and I always thought that when someone lives to be 91 like my MIL that the impact would be less. I’ve found, over the years, that I was wrong. It’s difficult no matter when.

Here we are in Edmonton, having a much needed quiet time together. It’s been nice to just hang out and spend the time relaxing and reminiscing. Yesterday we toured the building where Elina and her roommate have bought an apartment.Here we are, Elina, me and Jeanie (the recipient of the shawl I made last month) in our hardhats:

Elina has her RN exam today and the graduation ceremony is tomorrow. I’ve had some time to work away at Marina, it’s coming, slowly but surely:

    Good morning. Please do hugs all around from me. I knitted a scarf at Mom’s bedside; this one’s for me. Congratulations to Elina.

    I can identify – my husband’s father passed away this year. He had Alzheimers and it was both expected and a blessing, but still very difficult to deal with. You must be so proud of your daughter! And Marina is looking great – doesn’t look like slow progress to me – I think you’re speeding along on a not-so-easy pattern.
